Wine Tasting 42: 2004 Black Rock from Swartland, South Africa - 02:57

   Shhhhh!!!!! Well another bargain I bought in the Vancouver area reduced from $27 to $X (Hint: Massive reduction) so I have to test it out and see if it's up to par...
The Black Rock is a true Rhone blend consists of 76% shiraz, 14% Carignan and 10% Grenache. The first impression from the nose is the wine is rustic...sweet ripe cherry fruit, cherry stone and cherry based cough cordial, earthy and with a hint of volatile alcohol. (*** Mistake on the video: Not shery nose but Shiraz or Syrah nose ***) The wine when tasted offered more assertive waxy cherry stone character intermixed with dry wild flowers, wild berries, game, burnt earth, smoke and black pepper. This upfront, full body and reasonably complex wine still has a film of grippy tannin and is somewhat hot and spicy. The finish is quite long with a feel of hot peppery attack. This is a marriage of new world fruit and old world rusticity? A delight to drink with wild game or a lamb roast because of it's slightly elevated acidity as well as spiciness. I am curious to see what the 2005 has to offer in comparison but for the 2004 vintage of Cad$X (OK X = Under 12) a pop, this is definitely my first steal of 2007. (Rating 87-89 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.
